The feelings between people were mutual. Although Liu Jinbao felt terrible that his biological father had died, it was far less of a blow than Old Master Liu chasing him out of the family.
Unlike his parents, who had been hands-off caretakers after giving birth to him, his grandfather was his closest relative who had doted on him since he was young.
Although it had changed after Second Uncle was born, their relationship was still there.
When he heard Song Jinghuanâs question, he subconsciously wanted to nod, but he was afraid that it would really be as Manager Liu had said. His grandfather;s condition would worsen if he was unhappy.
Song Jinghuan knew what he was thinking at a glance. She curled her lips and said, âDonât just believe what others say. Are you stupid?â
Liu Jinbao looked up at her with red eyes. He looked like an abandoned puppy. Song Jinghuan glanced at him and couldnât bear to continue stabbing him with words. She glanced at the shrewd Manager Liu in disdain. âLetâs not talk about whether this person bullied his master or notâ¦â Thinking that she didnât have any evidence yet, and that Liu Jinbao believed this personâs words without a doubt, he changed the topic. âWe didnât come all the way here for nothing, right? This is very likely the last time youâll see your grandfather.â
Liu Jinbaoâs eyes darkened. âGrandfatherâ¦â He believed his grandfather didnât want to see him.
Song Jinghuan thought to himself, â1 used to think that this person was quite smart. Why did he stop thinking when it came to Old Master Liu?â
She scratched her head. âEven if he doesnât want to see you. You can see him secretly. Youâre afraid that his condition will worsen, so you can just not let him know. Besides, your father is gone. As his son, you have to burn incense, right? And your mother, arenât you going to visit her?â
Liu Jinbao was stunned. His grandfather didnât want to see him, so he could sneak a look outside the window.
Manager Liuâs hand that was holding the pouch was still in midair. When he heard Song Jinghuanâs words, he knew that something was wrong. Seeing Liu Jinbaoâs tempted expression, he opened his mouth to say, âThe Old Master has instructed me not to let you take half a step into the Liu residence.â
Before he could finish sDeaking. Song linghuan snatched the Douch and shook it in his hand. It looked to be about 20 to 30 taels of silver, but as the manager of a rich family in town, he could casually take out so much money. Those who didnât know better would think that he was the old master.
âYouâre master and servant after all. For you to be able to give us so much money, you must be thinking about old times. Let him go in and offer incense to his father. He wonât object if we secretly take a look at the old master, right?â Song Jinghuan imitated the way the servants looked at them just now and glanced at him. âAnyway, the old master is sick now. Letâs go in quietly. As long as you donât say anything, he wonât know that Liu Jinbao has returned. Naturally, he wonât be so angry that his condition will worsen.â
She directly blocked Manager Liuâs excuse. Manager Liu narrowed his eyes. âI wouldnât dare to lie to my superiors.â He no longer referred to himself as an old servant.
Song Jinghuan sneered. âAre you afraid? Or do you already think of yourself as the master of the Liu residence? Are you afraid that weâll discover something when we go in?â
Manager Liu seemed to have been stepped on and raised his voice. âNonsense.â Seeing that Song Jinghuan was not easy to fool, he flicked his sleeve and said to Liu Jinbao, âYou know Old Masterâs temper. If you still respect him, leave quickly. Donât make everyone look bad.â
Liu Jinbao was already persuaded by Song Jinghuan and didnât listen to him at all. âIâll go in and take a look before leaving.â
As he spoke, he was about to walk in.
Manager Liu naturally would not agree. He threatened, âIâve already said all the good things. If you continue to pester me, donât blame me for being rude. When the time comes, Iâll sue you for trespassing.â
The people in the government office had taken so many benefits from him in the past few years. As long as he sued them, he would guarantee that Liu Jinbao would never be able to come out.
Thinking of this, he wasnât worried anymore. It was good that Liu Jinbao was back. He could just crush him to death to prevent any unnecessary trouble. He gave Yan San a look. The latter understood and immediately left.
Song Jinghuan saw this and didnât stop him.
Looking at the guard who stood in front of him, Liu Jinbao hesitated for a moment.
It wasnât that he was afraid of meeting the officials, but these people wouldnât let him in. If he barged in, he would definitely cause a commotion and his grandfather would find out.
This was how humans were. The more they cared, the more careful they would be.
Song Jinghuan didnât give him any time to waste and whipped Manager Liu.
She had seen that her sister-in-law was good at using the whip, so she got someone to make one. This was the first time she had used it.
This old thing was really lucky.
Liu Jinbao was stunned for a moment when she suddenly attacked. Those guards did not have time to react at all. The whip hit Manager Liuâs shoulder firmly, leaving a long red mark on his chin.
âAh!â Manager Liu cried out in pain. He was helped up by his subordinates so that he did not fall to the ground.
The guards reacted and surrounded Song Jinghuan.
They didnât take a little girl seriously at all. Similarly, Song Jinghuan didnât take them seriously. She whipped out again and wrapped her whip around Manager Liuâs neck, dragging him in front of her.
âIf you take another step forward, Iâll strangle him.â She tightened the whip.
She had been listening to this old thingâs pretense for a long time.
Manager Liuâs face turned red. He rolled his eyes in annoyance. Seeing this, the guards did not dare to go forward.
However, Song Jinghuan didnât want to kill him for the time being. She intimidated him and loosened his grip. âTell your men to move aside.
Otherwise, Iâll kill you first before barging in. Anyway, your death will be in vain.â
He didnât want to die in vain.
Manager Liu had just gotten a chance to catch his breath. When he heard this, he was furious again. He said hatefully, âIf you kill me, donât even think about leaving Qingping Town.â
Would Song Jinghuan be afraid of him?
At this moment, a man could not help but say, âYoung Master, Manager Liu is doing this for your own good. You should leave quickly with your companions.â
Song Jinghuan looked over. It was the follower who was so excited that he almost cried when he saw Liu Jinbao.
He seemed to be helping Manager Liu, but the worry in his eyes could not be faked.
This was most likely the person who sent the letter to Liu Jinbao.
However, this was not important now.
Seeing that she was silent and did not make a move, Manager Liu thought that she was afraid and continued to say ruthless words.
Song Jinghuan was impatient. She pulled out the dagger from her waist and stabbed it into his abdomen.
There was another wail like a pig being slaughtered.
After he finished howling, Song Jinghuan said coldly, âIf you dare to spout nonsense again, Iâll cut off your tongue.â
The knife stabbed into him and blood flowed. Manager Liu knew that she was serious and did not dare to say anything else. He trembled and asked the servants to make way.
The attendant wanted to persuade Liu Jinbao to leave quickly before the officials arrived.
However, Liu Jinbao was not really stupid. At this point, how could he tell that something was wrong? He ignored his attendant and strode into the residence.
With Manager Liu in hand, the guards only dared to fall far behind. When they reached the second gate, a group of people blocked their way.
âMadam, itâs them. They kidnapped Manager Liu and want to barge into the residence.â A maidservant pointed at Song Jinghuan and Liu Jinbao.
The woman she called Madam was Song Jiayue.
Because Song Jiayue had given birth to a son, Old Master Liu valued her very much. Later on, she used the excuse that she didnât want her son to be looked down upon by others to persuade Old Master Liu to support her. She was now the old madam of the Liu family.
However, because she was younger than Eldest Master, no one could call her Old Madam, so they called her Madam.
Song Jiayueâs gaze swept across Song Jinghuanâs face and finally stopped on Liu Jinbaoâs face. Perhaps it was because a servant had reported it, but she didnât recognize him until a long time later.
âLiu Jinbao, what are you doing?â She looked disgusted.
For the sake of Old Master Liu, Liu Jinbao cupped his hands and said,
âGrandfather is seriously ill. Iâ¦â
âWhat grandfather? Your grandfather isnât here. You have nothing to do with our Liu family anymore.â Song Jiayue interrupted him sharply. âHurry up and let her go. Otherwise, I wonât be polite to you.â
In the past, Liu Jinbao had been spoiled by Old Master Liu and had bullied many people. However, he only bullied his classmates in the academy. When the servants didnât do as he wished, he would scold them. As for Old Master Liuâs concubines, as long as they didnât cause trouble in front of him, he wouldnât care at all. Therefore, there was actually no feud between them.
However, Song Jiayue didnât like him from the moment she saw him.
The reason was very simple. She was once the beloved daughter of the Song family, but she could not compare to Liu Jinbao at all. When the Song family was in trouble, they even treated her as a concubine without hesitation. Seeing how happy Liu Jinbao was, she was initially jealous, but later on, it was to pave the way for her son.
Now that he had returned, she was afraid that he was here to snatch her sonâs assets, so she naturally wouldnât be happy..
